Felony Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 Against Non-Citizen Dismissed Prior to Arraignment
Our client is a non-citizen working in the United States pursuant to a visa. In September of this year she was caught shoplifting from a store in a mall. The value of the property taken exceeded $1,200.00 making the crime a felony in Massachusetts. The woman was charged with larceny over $1,200.00 in violation of G.L. c. 266 section 30. Her arraignment was scheduled for February of next year. Rather than wait for the arraignment and leave our client with a pcf number we negotiated a deal with the district attorney’s office. Provided that our client perform 16 hours of community service the case would be dismissed prior to arraignment. She completed the community service and we advanced the case today. All charges were dismissed prior to arraignment.
